Bug Description
The pattern used in files_search gives us a kind of fuzzy searching where we can type foo bar.txt and get the file foo/subdir/bar.txt
but it's case-sensitive, which is not very fuzzy.
One pattern (eg, in emacs' i-search) is to make a search case-insensitive *unless* it has upper-case letters in it, then treat that as case-sensitive, on the assumption that if a user made the effort to type an uppercase letter, then they meant it literally.
I don't think that'd be a big change, we could just tweak the pattern based on the incoming search string.
